For the buttercream:

• 200g butter softened
• 400g icing sugar
• 1drop Purple gel food colouring

 

Instructions

 

For the hearts:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two 20cm cake tins with baking paper.
2. Add the butter, sugar, eggs and flour to a large mixing bowl and beat together until pale and fluffy. Add the raspberry flavouring and a drop of pink gel food colouring, then mix through until well combined.
3. Pour the mixture equally between the two cake tins and bake for 20–25 minutes. Leave to cool.
4. Once cooled, cut out six hearts from each cake tin using the cookie cutter and put to one side.

 

For the cupcakes:

1. Keep the oven at 180°C and line a cupcake tray with 12 cupcake cases.
2. Add the butter, sugar, eggs and flour to a large mixing bowl, and beat together until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix through until well combined.
3. Fill each cupcake case with a tablespoon of batter, then carefully place a sponge heart into the centre of each cupcake, pushing it down until it is almost completely submerged in the batter. Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes until just browned and springy to touch, then leave to cool on a wire rack.

 

For the buttercream:

1. Blend the butter and icing sugar together until smooth, add a few drops the purple gel food colouring (enough to make the buttercream a pastel colour) and combine.
2. Fit a piping bag with a closed-star nozzle, transfer the mixture into the piping bag and pipe swirls of buttercream on top of the cupcakes.
